STATE MEET QUALIFICATION PROCESS:

To qualify as an INDIVIDUAL:  Each region will qualify 20% of the total number of (AA & A) contestants that start the regional race to the state meet, inclusive of those individuals that qualified as a team qualifier. A minimum of 10 individuals will qualify from each region. Regular math rounding (.5 & up, round up, below .5, round down) will apply.  Please note:  Individual qualifying is not separated by classes!

To qualify as a TEAM: This depends on how many complete teams (5 or more runners) start the race in your regional.  Team qualifying standards will apply to “AA” schools, as a separate group and to “A” schools as a separate group:  If only 1 full team in your classification starts in your regional, it qualifies.  If 2-5 teams in your classification start at your regional, the top 2 qualify.  If 6-9 teams in your classification start at your regional, the top 3 qualify.  If more than 10 teams in your classification start at your regional, the top 4 qualify.

COACHES, PLEASE GET 5 RUNNERS TO THE LINE IF POSSIBLE!!!  7 IS EVEN BETTER!!!
